GCSE Results and Scholarship Test
In September 2010 we introduced a two year GCSE scholarship for gifted students. Simran Patel and Emma-Jane Faulkner were part of this cohort and at the end of their first year at GCSE; both students sat module exams in English Language, History and Science. Simran achieved two "a*" grades and one "a" grade, Emma-Jane achieved 1 "a*" grade and two "a" grades, a real success for each student at the end of their first year with us.
Adrian Thacker (GCSE Course Director) is extremely happy with this year’s GCSE results, particularly those from the two-year programme:
It is testimony to Emma-Jane and Simran’s hard work last year. In fact, all of the two year GCSE students worked very hard and deserved what they achieved and I am very confident they will go on to achieve equally excellent final grades next Summer."
Both girls will continue this year with a mixture of the following GCSE subjects: Chemistry, English Language & Literature, French, Geography, History, Mathematics and Physics.
Our aim at Bosworth is to offer gifted students a two year GCSE scholarship and then retain this scholarship across another two years for A Level study. By doing this our hope is for the student to achieve the best advice on their future pathway and to gain a place at a top 50 university. With the current competitiveness for university places; both A Level and GCSE results will become increasingly important in the application process.
Bosworth will hold a GCSE scholarship test on the 14th February 2012 if your child is currently in Year 9 and would like to sit the test, please contact us on 01604 235 090.
